Lets assume Winston died in early 1939 from too much wine & women. How would British politics and the war in 1940 play out?

I fully understand that we are only discussing the above premise in order to spark off controversy but I feel obliged to put forward the "veteran's" viewpoint.
As someone who was sixteen at the outbreak of WW2 and who spent his formative years under Winston's inspired, there is simply no other word for it, leadership, I do indeeed shudder at the very thought that we could have been deprived of his charisma and powers during those terrible dark days.
To even mention the name of Oswald Mosely in the same breath as Churchill is, in my opinion, risible and not even worthy of consideration.
I shall be following this thread with much interest
